NJ. de Lesseps is sorely annoyed
by the plain statements of fact
about this undertaking which have
been published in the American
press. He has repeatedly declared
that these exposures of the com.
pany's extravaganza, wastefulness
and Misrepresentation are only
exhibitions of jealousy and malice.
II is an easy manner for him to
convince many of his dupes in pro.
vincial France that the American
press, about which they know
nothing, is moved by envy and
hatred, but how does he account
to them for the attitude of that

before the company's latest appeal
for money it occurred to him that
the people ought to be warned
again. Therefore he published a
caustic review of the company's
broken promises, with a statement
of its immense obligations and
enormous expenses for interest
and administration, describing, as
he says, "the frightful gulf into
which the French are throwing
their savings.n
M. M.Leroy.Beaulieu does not refer
to the great aud unexpected OBJ

countered on the isthmus. Pos
